Two things. 1) APR not having a static initializer that you can use is a
pretty major bug that makes apr_thread_once a lot less useful. It's my
fault, I wrote the function originally, and I didn't think that through.
It should be a relatively easy patch to create one. That would be one way
to resolve the problem.
2) I haven't read the ra_svn code, so I am just spitballing here, but
there must be some place that you can call apr_thread_once_init before
you create threads. If there isn't, then you will need to modify APR to
include a static initializer.
Right now I feel like a moron for leaving that out. I wonder how many
other places need a static initializer that I didn't think about.
